Of course it's not, it only turned 2 a few months ago.

Even modern Nintendo isn't stupid enough to alienate what fans they have left by doing a Saturn and pulling the plug too soon. Plus, they still need to recoup the system's R&D costs and first year losses.

A replacement in November 2017 would be ideal, giving it a normal Nintendo console lifespan so buyers don't feel shortchanged. 

But 4 years (Nov 2012-Nov 2016), is also a reasonable generation time. Launching in Nov 2016 does not make Wii U's lifespan outrageously short. And if Wii U tanks this year hitting the next gen in 2016 is a chance for a complete refresh, including ditching the childish Wii name.
